How to calculate the Life Path Number for January 17, 1988

To find the Life Path Number for January 17th, 1988, you will need to calculate the root number. In other words, you will need to reduce the numbers "1988 1 17" down until you are left with a single digit number.

11, 22, and 33 are the only double-digit numbers that are allowed. This is because they are considered to be master numbers.

January 17th, 1988

This date of birth consists of the numbers 1988, 1 (for January), and 17.

Take a look at the following example.

Reduce the year 1988 down into one digit

Let's start with the year, which is 1988. We need to break this number down into one digit or one of the master numbers (11, 22 or 33).

To do this, we can "break" the numbers in 1988 apart and then do some simple addition:

1 + 9 + 8 + 8 = 26

In this case, we are still left with two digits. Therefore, we will need to break 26 down even further:

2 + 6 = 8

As you can see, 1988 became 8.


Reduce the month January

Now, let's move onto the month, which is 1 (January).

As you can see, 1 is already a single-digit number. As a result, we do not need to reduce it.

So far, we have the number 8 for the year and the number 1 for the month. Now, we will need to move onto the next step and break down the day.


Reduce the day of the month into a single-digit as well

In the case of January 17th, 1988, the day of the month is obviously 17.

We will need to reduce this:

1 + 7 = 8

This leaves us with the number 8.

8 is a single-digit number, which means that we do not need to reduce it any further.


Final Step: Add 8, 1, and 8 together and then calculate the Life Path Number

We have 8 for the year, 1 for the month, and 8 for the day. Now, let's the calculate the final result, which will be our Life Path Number.

Start off by adding the three numbers together:

8 + 1 + 8 = 17

Because 17 is a two-digit number, we will need to reduce it even further:

1 + 7 = 8

And that's it! We have now calculated the "root number".

We can now conclude that 8 is the Life Path Number for January 17th, 1988.
